Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 large carrot
- 5 stalks scallions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini and carrots using a spiralizer to form noodle-like strands. Set aside.
Finely chop the scallions, separating the white parts from the green. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and the white parts of the scallions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add the spiralized zucchini and carrots to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat evenly with the sauce.
Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetable 'noodles' are tender-crisp. Be cautious not to overcook them to avoid becoming mushy.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with the chopped green parts of the scallions and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Scallion Noodles as a delicious and healthy meal.
